How does NeoGraft® work?
NeoGraft® uses an innovative method called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which extracts individual hair follicles from an area consisting of terminal hair, known as the donor site—this is usually the lower-back of the head above the nape of the neck. Each hair follicle contains one to three individual hairs. Once the follicles are extracted, they are carefully separated and strategically reimplanted in areas of the scalp where hair loss has occurred. Unlike the traditional strip method, which requires the physician to surgically remove a strip of the patient’s scalp, the NeoGraft® micrograft hair transplant procedure does not require a scalpel. Instead, it utilizes an automated handpiece, which gives patients little to no discomfort during the hair transplant procedure.
What is an FUE hair transplant?
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. It is an advanced, minimally invasive hair transplant method that allows for the harvesting of individual follicles from the back of the head (donor area) without a scalpel or stitches, and therefore leaves no linear scar.

Is NeoGraft® suitable for both men and women?
Yes. Because the NeoGraft® hair restoration procedure is minimally invasive, it is a viable option for both men and women looking to restore their own living and growing hair with transplantation.
What makes this treatment different from other hair transplants?
Traditional hair restoration procedures usually employ a technique known as the strip method, which involves surgically removing a strip from the patient’s scalp (the back of the head) to be used as the donor site. This can leave a linear scar. NeoGraft®, on the other hand, uses a minimally invasive method that is a variation of the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, which uses an automated handheld device to harvest individual hair follicles from areas that consist of terminal hair, which are naturally resistant to hair loss. It then implants those grafts at the site of hair loss, where, over time, they will regrow as healthy, fully functioning hair. As a result, NeoGraft® does not leave a linear scar, is more comfortable, and requires much less recovery time.
